Feb 2020 long hauler here. Coming up on three years of this horrific illness. I used to be incredibly healthy and happy and active, now I'm barely a shell of my former self. Here's to all the others suffering from invisible illness like this. You are not alone. I hope and pray we will all find adequate treatment.

I’m on month 5 suffering from Long Covid. It is a debilitating disease! Everyday is a different symptom. It is scary not knowing what’s next and what my future holds. Whoever is suffering please don’t give up. If your doctor says it’s all in your head, change your doctor!

Almost a year for me. It ended my 39 year nursing career. I'm now disabled using a cane. Severe neuropathy which I didn't have before. My oxygen still drops in the 80's with much exertion so I still need oxygen at times. My thought process is much slower. Severe pain at times. Severe rib cage pain. Strong smell of smoke all of the time. My vision is terrible. I'm a puzzle piece of the person I was before. Still, my spirits are high ! I'm alive and thankful.

I have been dealing with Long Covid about 12 months. Brain Fog, Exercise Intolerance, General Fatigue. I can't seem to get the energy to work out because my heart and lungs just don't function like normal. It is so depressing my mental health is suffering as well. A terrible reality, but I see that many others have it much worse. I also see that many others who have received the vaccine have experienced exacerbated illness. I have cleaned up my diet substantially, started breathing exercises, taken up more reading, and made many lifestyle changes. In my research I have found that is important for individuals like myself to KEEP MOVING and KEEP UP COGNITION. Do not succumb to the exhaustion. Keep doing what you can, and aim for small improvements while always listening to and respecting your body. Much love and wellness to us all.

The worst part for me is, everyone around me don’t understand and some think I’m just making things up to get pity from people. Now I just keep things to myself. Even my doctor can’t help, there is no medicine or anything for me except eat vitamins and eat healthy.. Hopefully everyone will heal from all this craziness

I am 24 years old. I had mild symptoms when I first got Covid. I tested negative few weeks ago but still experiencing chest pains, heart palpitations and dizziness. Recently I found out I have ischemia which was shattering because I am so young. I also went to multiple doctors and they told me I have anxiety. It was the hardest time of my life because no one believed me not even the doctors.

Long haul COVID is exactly what the ME/CFS and lyme community have been dealing with. Definitely causes auto immune and chronic symptoms affecting every bodily system.

This is me literally me! I’m so glad to watch this knowing I’m not alone and that I’m not crazy! I use a walker as well because long distance walking and standing for a long time is VERY hard for me to do. I also suffer from mild hearing loss, hair still falling out, headaches, EXTREME back pain, stomach issues that they still have not been able to diagnose, and extreme sweating. It all sucks but again, I’m so glad I’m not alone…. i had Covid back in December of 2020. I was BLESSED to get an infusion at that time that saved my life!

I had a friend that was in the ICU and they were getting ready to put hin on a ventilator and a friend snuck him in ivermectin and the next day he was out of the ICU and walked out of the hospital 6 days later. They were in total awe, and acting like a miracle happened, (he was scared to tell the Drs he took it). The dr.'s refused to give him ivermectin so he got it on his own because he really has nothing to lose at that point and it saved his life. I know this isnt about long hauler covid but I thought it still might help someone!!!!

I experienced something very similar to the sixty-year-old gentleman who plays hockey. I became sick in March of 2020 and also had covid toes. Although it took me over a year to get to a good place with my breathing in general, I found that when I went back to sports around that time I struggled still with shortness of breath and a very high heart rate. I kept at it thinking that it might be due to deconditioning after a year of limited exercise and much of that time being very sedentary due to weakness and breathing issues. Sure enough, I have steadily improved the point where I'm now back to myself a year and three quarters after the initial virus. I very much hope that these people are able to find Health again.

I am glad that I am not alone in my long covid journey. I had every side effect i can imagine, and it changes every couple days or weeks. It literally started with migraines, and has went throughout my body. After heaches, had a horrible head cold, then muslce aches in my neck down to my back, and now in my right leg. I currently can barely walk, because the pain is so horrific. I have been to the emergency room and doctors office multiple times in the past 2 months. I first tested positive March 9, and then negaitve a week later, but am still healing. Just when i think the new pain is over, something else pops up. It is really debilitating physically and mentally. Especially trying to work and keep my job with mulitple absenses. But I still find a way to stay positive every day. I dont wish this disease on anyone.

I feel for her because I’m going through it too. Same exact symptoms. Only working part time and it’s greatly impacted my life

Absolutely appalling what's happening in this world all these monsters need to be held accountable for crimes against humanity. 😢😡💰😡

Fibromyalgia and ME/CFS are very similar. We could have more answers for long-covid if we had studied these other conditions. Sadly, these patients were dismissed, told it was in their heads, told it was depression or get over-medicated in order to shut them up. I hope that we will FINALLY have a decent budget for post-viral illnesses and be able to help not only the long-haulers but many people whose lives were ruined by fibro and/or CFS/ME.

So many unknowns with this disease! The stress is incredible. It seems we should have much more of a handle on this by now.

Father in Heaven, please heal her in Jesus Name. Amen!!!

I was a 35 year old athlete with no pre existing health conditions, and now I can only go for walks and I'm too exhausted to do anything else. I felt like I was hungover every day for 2 months. I couldn't focus or remember things, it's improving, but I'm still a long way from the man I was... this virus is hell. It's been 5 months, but I'm determined to not give up

I mentioned in an email to all Canadian Health Ministers back in March 2020 that this was possible as this happened to some who were infected with SARS back in 2003. Not a single minister replied!!! Our entire household got COVID at the end of 2020. My wife ended up in the hospital for 5 days. She went through months of different therapies as it affected her memory, speech and coordination. One would think that she had suffered a stroke. One of the biggest problems around the world is that countries release COVID numbers as number of cases, recoveries and deaths. The public sees all the recovered numbers and believe that it's not that bad. All those recovered numbers indicate is recovered from infection. Not recovered from the "Effects" of the infection. If people knew the likelyhood of suffering debilitating effects from COVID, perhaps they would take it more seriously.

For me it is these symptoms. Fatigue Fast heart rate a.m. Breathing difficulties Brain fog Occasional headache Muscle spasms Will it ever end? Praying for everybody. Praying for specialists to find some answers.

I had something nasty in 2019, first doctor said it was strep, antibiotics made me worse, the next doctor said it's mono, it went on for months. Had to quit my job while I recovered because company wouldn't let me work from home or take sick days. Health went up and down - I tried again, I told my symptoms (long list) to a doctor and she took a look at my throat and she said "you got thrush from the antibiotics!" (candidiasis) she prescribed me antifungal treatment and I felt 110% better, it was an amazing difference. If you took antibiotics as part of your treatment (it's sometimes to prevent bacterial pneumonia), weak immune system + antibiotics can make you extra susceptible to fungal overgrowth. This is just anecdotal, I don't want to give medical advice, but it's something worth asking your doctor about.

Why is no one talking about the front line staff in the MAIN MEDIA that walked into the fire of covid and are being finished on capabilities as they became ill with covid some died some suffer long covid and are now unable to work due to ill health. NHS mangers/government stance to these staff "They the NHS staff could have got virus anywhere". We were in lock down traveling to work in our own cars treating wards of covid infected patients many of us getting food delivered home. These staff like me are being let down and their families. The NHS has treated its own hero's badly clap clap!

This is so depressing. I got covid in September of 2021 and still feel terrible. Some days are better than others and I'm so grateful for those few good days. I'm just beginning to watch this and I hope their are remedies in this video.

Arrived home Seattle from Honolulu December 29th 2022 just now able to get out of bed and shower no one believed me not even my insurance company! I have super high blood pressure every other day now brain fog fatigue body ache abdominal pain some days I wake up and I feel super hung over in the evenings I feel like I’m reliving menopause the diarrhea and vomiting have stopped joint pain my eyesight has changed. Skin has a pens and Needles sensation off and runs on and I also have a red rash that off and on heats up and itches my heart races I had to hire a therapist because it’s traumatizing for me hardest part is no sympathy whatsoever I finally found a doctor that put me on medical leave I’m just really exhausted and need answers.

I followed the following program I put together, as an occupational therapist: - Vagus nerve stimulation - breathing techniques - relaxation therapy - neurodevelopmental therapy - 70 - 99% cocoa dark chocolate - vitamin D - red grapes - board games: sudoku, solitaire, chess, dominoes, crosswords. - cetirizine

Probably some have already mentioned this, but this so closely resembles fibromyalgia symptoms. After having been sick with some sort of virus in 1994, I was finally diagnosed with fibromyalgia by a specialist in 1997, after 2 years with my own family doctor telling me it was all in my head and pushing all kinds of antidepressants on me (none of which worked, and just caused nasty side effects. I'm female, so what else could it be but depression :[ Grrr). After 20+ years with it now, maybe they'll actually be able to get to the bottom of this and find out how to successfully treat Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and long COVID. I suspect they are all related. Thanks so much for doing this piece.

I am so confused . What the hell do these people have in common ? Some say you only get really sick if you're too fat but I've seen young healthy fit people die . This whole thing is insane .

3 years long hauler here, and I’m so emotional watching this. Mostly because it focuses on more than just anosmia/Parosmia/Phantosmia/Dysgeusia. It’s more than that, I’ve had to completely relearn how to manage my body and social relationships. I developed an incurable illness during long haul that has no other explanation. I’ve accepted this by now, but I just wish everyone else would truly recognize the true horror of what we’re dealing with. Covid is serious, but even the ludicrous amount of deaths weren’t enough to convince the world.

At least a subgroup of them have probably developed ME/CFS. Post-viral illnesses have been known for decades and yet neglected and ignored. In a severe form, it's completely life ending. Anyone can develop that, Hopefully more much needed biomedical research will be done, quickly.

I had it in November 2020 and just couldn’t seem to get over it completely. Then in April 2021 I took the vaccine. First shot was no big deal. Second shot made me as sick as the initial disease and now, mid December 2021, I’m still suffering tons of symptoms. I already battled Multiple Sclerosis and now my doctor says that there’s no real way to separate the MS and COVID-19 symptoms. An MRI might show something but nobody knows. I’m gonna insist on those MRIs, with contrast and without. Any new lesions should tell me something!

My 45 year old daughter had Covid in January. She’s not overweight, she did 15,000 steps a day and lots of stairs at a school where she’s a LIFT teacher going from classroom to classroom assisting teachers with students snd classroom modeling as well as subbing when required along with teaching some elementary classes. When she got Covid she said she felt like a small child was sitting on her chest. She was in contact with her doctor who prescribed puffers and told her if she hadn’t had 3 vaccines he would have hospitalized her. She’s still can’t do stairs and has to take the elevator at school- she can’t walk fast. She can’t blow out candles. She gets out of breath very quickly and she’s very fatigued even after a nights sleep. She’s having to undergo lung and kidney function tests, ecg, blood work and a an appointment with a hemotologist which she can’t get into for a year. My husbands great niece has just developed Type 1 diabetes at 11 years old. The doctor at the childrens hospital told her parents there’s been an increase of 4 times the number of children getting Type 1 diabetes since Covid. If one more person tells me Covid is just a flu I might just punch them in the nose… If one more person tells me I

Hello all Cov19 Long Hauler Survivors, I'm one & its so hard to do all different task. Im praying so hard for us all. Im a long hauler since February '2022, im praying for us all, love you all, i live in South Carolina, USA.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I have been going through this.. I had Covid19 in the beginning..started recover,then got vaccinated, then the symptoms got worse..I have been sick ever since.. my quality of life is worse then before. I already had chronic illnesses that I had to deal with. Now this is horrible...

This was my life after 2yr glandular fever. I was told repeatedly it was just yuppy flu. I lost my teens and since lost 2 careers. I hope this time round pvf gets real funding

I was shocked at my mental state when I had covid, I hadn’t heard of that as a symptom. It was awful. Luckily it went when I recovered. How terrible to have these symptoms ongoing for months and years. I Hope something can be done to help these poor people.

I was diagnosed with Covid in January….it’s now March and my symptoms are worse today than they were when I was diagnosed. I have severe headache, dizziness, feeling like I’m losing my mind at times. I need relief.

I have had long-haulers since having Covid in May of 2022. While I am slowly improving, it has impacted me significantly. I am fatigued constantly, I have an electrical buzz in my head that will not go away, so bad I sometimes can't hear people speaking to me. I have forgotten so many things that I have known my whole life, only post Covid, have I forgotten them. I am forgetful, and work demands so much more than it ever did. When I first got it, I couldn't even remember my own name when I tried to introduce myself, I would speak and it was like someone shut the switch off on me and I could not speak. It is so scary. I wish everyone the best and hopefully everyone can find a road to recovery.

Am I the only one feeling like this look like chronic fatigue symptoms and effect ?

I am a long term covid patient .. I got it on January I still have symptoms and we are almost at the beginning of April and I still don't feel well the brain fogs I can't Drive ,burning things forgetting things the stomach pain is awful is just too much to a point I couldn't work anymore! The daily struggles is awful as women's we should get some help from the government as covid patients we need help .

I think the dr. is right. It very much sounds like an autoimmune disorder and it makes sense.

"low level persistant ongoing infection" Yep, thats what it feels like. Feels like I have the flu 90% of the time. And the more I try and do? The worse it stirs things up. Hows that for living life?

29 months after catching covid and I don’t think I’m getting any better. I’m so drained to do anything my life is hard to enjoy. I can’t even think right with the brain fog

Sadly it’s been almost two years now. As a 64 yr old man I feel like I’m 90. Shortness of breath, cognitive issues, fatigue beyond belief. I’ve been diagnosed with fibromyalgia before Covid. It’s taken those symptoms times 4. Never had depression, now I fight every day. There just seems to no end. 😢

9 months here it’s HELLL brain fog is insane

Many long covid patients are joining CFS/M.E Facebook support groups .M.E is very similar . Many of us have been living with it for decades . If there was more funding for research we might get treatments for both . Right now low dose naltrexone is helping a few people

Vaccine made my long-hauler symptoms worse.

Take long deep breaths. Which each breath know that you are healing yourself. The power of your mind and heart is going to heal you ❤ Don't give up you will get better.

Dear friends! My husband and I almost lost our lives Aug’21. We are still both on blood pressure pills, have trouble sleeping, brain fog… I think MASSIVE TRAUMA has a lot to do with these symptoms….🌿

This was the scariest thing I had to witness among one of my colleagues prior to the vaccines becoming available for COVID-19. I knew right then and there, that I better never come down with this scary @$$ virus 😳

Been a long hauler since June of 2020. Didn't need to be hospitalized but suffer from almost no taste or smell and brain fog that refuses to go away. It's life changing and I don't know if and when it will get better. I guess I count as someone who has 'recovered' from the virus though to some. It's been the worst years ever.

I can so relate to these stories I have same issues 15 months after recovery and when people say it’s all in ur head and u r having anxiety issues. It hurts I have started with my regular pre COVID work and home routine.. there are days of severe struggle and fatigue.. which I need to fight on a regular basis🙁

Lord heal these folks and bless their lives!

I still suffer from covid 16 months later.

I’m sorry. It’s actually good to hear there’s people out there with same situation as me. At least so I know it’s not something else that gets suggested to me all the time. 12 months now.

Many viruses or bacterial infections.. cause chronic fatigue (M.E) ..lasting months years even.. which can cause Memory problems ..lung issues, aches, pain, exhaustion ..and that outside looking in feeling.. I've had M.E since I was twenty after a massive tooth infection...I'm now 57.

A year on & I have 55% lung function. I was 105kgs & 1.98m before Covid. Coming from hospital after 2 months, I was 78kgs. I'm now back up to 110kgs & for some odd reason 1.96m tall. I get out of breath easily, have heart palpations, lost strength in my legs, have sight issues, especially peripheral vision, have issues with my feet and struggle sometimes with words. Can't work & getting no assistance from UIF. But, I'm alive & there are people in worse positions than myself

Long hauler is fibromyalgia symptoms.

My sister has long haulers and was just diagnosed with Fibromyalgia…I’ve had fibromyalgia for 15 years so genetic medical links…

Fatigue and chronic headaches are very real. And on top of all this, after I got my second dose of the vaccine, my menstrual cycle went haywire. My body is a mess.

I wandering if they got the v , bc many people is confused and are blaming to the virus and not the to the v, my son was in icu after getting the v, I think many people are suffering the new MRNA v , bc this v is not what people think bc this meses up the whole inmune sistem 😢

This long COVID is very similar to what I have had for 30 years...Fibromyalgia. I found out that one thing that helps me is compression...a corset around my waist. I bought something called a waist trainer posture correction. Helps my stamina. It allows me to carry on with more strength. It was a cheap fix $48.00 from Amazon. I have just about worn one out in 6 months so I bought 3 more....

I have people in my life in this situation. Hard being the person who watches someone you care about suffer, can’t do anything to fix it.

I have been dealing with this for last 27 months… living alone … fighting every day… POTS is the hardest part

I am this way I cry daily because how weak I am there’s days I get up I think or look ok then the next several days it’s like I am so darn weak not to mention the forgetting things lost train thought feeling like the way the medical field is not all on the same page even putting this together it’s so far behind not even close to understanding this covid. Because why did this covid it was trying to bust through my ribs to get into my lungs once in my lungs it felt like Charlie horses and contractions all at once and sharp stabbing pains to where it was taking my breath away I have permanently inward breath that I cannot control once it left my lungs it went from my chest area to my lower abs to my back to my side area it was like pac man crazy movement when it stop it was the worst pain I ever felt in my life then I had x4 period in one month I felt like my insides was going to falll out I also felt like fall out like I was going to pass out I lost 70% of my hair I have had randomly sharp pains in my extremities along with random Charlie horses all over I hand like pins and needles in my hands and feet to where I literally watched my hands and feet go into this weird like constricting faise that I have no control of either I feel like I am going to my grave people even my job veterans hospitals I work for my pcp the er dr not one person believe me thinks it fake yes I had fast heart rate yes I had trouble breathing I use to clean entire house by myself I can’t even just clean a room by myself anymore I called off so much because how weak pain forgetting things I am about to cancel this appointment because of the disrespect if I even loose my federal nursing assistant job at this point I don’t care I have to take care of me in 32 years I ask for ct something I wanted more than just X-ray because this was in my lungs a long time and in my body I want to know what damage it has done to me why because it has already taken so much from me money studies will never give me back of what I lost especially my life I just want my life back now I know how what my mom was talking about how we take for granted the little things in life until we. Cannot anymore I am loosing just time alone from my job my grandkids I’m either at work or sick in bed weak as hell I’m so slow sluggish I get over exerted So easy I did nothing close to feel like this I hate it I feel like there weights on my extremities and this weight is just sitting on my chest and entire body I cannot even exercise not even a minute in of trying with out feeling like a piece of crap so over exerted I just want my life back before I get what’s next dementia in my life I hate this of looking normal but no energy to do anything it like I am out of commission so I look crazy in every one eyes I am not it real I hope god i get better or usa approves something for us because each day is different it’s day to day process

I can confirm that long covid is almost debilitating. I can’t focus and I feel ill and aches all day throughout the day. It’s absolutely affecting my work and every day life. I exercised 5 days a week and was in really good shape. Now I can barely work out and the aches make standing and getting up from sitting or sleeping a challenge. I’m desperate to find treatment for this.

I got over the illness, but had extreme fatigue for three weeks after. I started eating three cloves of garlic raw each day, and after four days, started producing a weird smelling mucous, every morning, for around two weeks. I felt much better each day, and am back to normal now. Might be worth a try for someone in a similar situation.

I am a long term hauler approx 1 year and half , it wasnt really until after the first year did i start to see improvements . I still have a ways to go it is a challenge but dont give up keep fighting at a comfortable pace there is hope .

I was diagnosed with COVID mar 2021 and hospitalized since then I have all the ups and down fatigue brain fog joint pain and loss of breath memory loss blurred vision . since then I have lost over 20+ friends to COVID I'm thankful every day I'm still alive. Long Hauler is a term I have learned to deal with . my prayer that no one should go through this.

I was wondering what would break first - your spirit…or your body.

This is terrifying!! I haven't caught any strain of covid yet but i know its a matter of time. Ive had asthma all my life, and even the common cold makes me sick for months... so im worried. Im so sorry for each and everyone of you that are going through this, and for everyone who has lost a loved one. This is so heartbreaking! I pray you all heal! 🙏❤

Hello I know how you feel. I’m still going through it but I found vitamin D3 has helped me taking it everyday has helped me.

I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue disorder. Before covid days. I live exactly like these 1st 2 women.

This definitely seems like it has an autoimmune component which explains why women are vastly more affected then men I'm curious if a treatment plan similar to lupus would lead to improvment?

Basically, they science is too complex to give us any answers yet. It’s quite dismal. I really feel for these people. I have been suffering from chronic pain for well and over 25 years and have learned to live this, over time. However, to be struck with this so suddenly is devastating!

My brain fog and other long-haul symptoms have improved with a low histamine keto diet. I have been diagnosed with MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) and histamine intolerance which is an auto-immune disorder. MCAS is grossly under diagnosed and usually goes untreated. Obviously not sure of the correlation but it has become obvious that cheating on my diet has an adverse effect on my symptoms.

I had to buy a Apple Watch to watch my heart rate. If I stood up I would go up to 160. I couldn’t work out. I couldn’t focus. I had intense brain fog. I had stomach issues. So much things. I can’t even remember them all. I once went to the er about 20 times in about 4 weeks. Drs thought I was crazy. One day I thought I was having a heart attack. I still don’t know what it was. I had intense burn in my chest and it would pulsate. Kinda like a bee sting. I couldn’t hold a conversation. I had absence seizures. Just so much.

Fatigue uff da yes. If I work 3 hours it wipes me out and I sleep for 12 hours, do almost nothing the next day or two just to feel okie. And anyone else wobble now? Standing there just fine, then wobble out of nowhere. If I catch myself, sometimes i get a rebound wobble.

Hello I’m a long hauler too. Vitamin D3 helped me

I had it September 2021. Never been the same. Not the energy I used to have. Occasional heart palpitations. Lost a lot of my hair. Numb feet,but that seems not as intense. The worst is the taste and smell. Every day for hours sometimes, I will smell dirty ashtray. I only know one smoker and am not around him enough to smell his dirty ashtrays. Food I used to enjoy is just kinda meh. No one I know understands this. The fatigue is the absolute worst.

Aug 2020 long hauler and I am tired of constantly being sick and no help from the government. I applied for disability in Dec 2020 and nothing. I hadn't work for 2 yrs so I got a job 6 mths ago to pay for meds and consistent dr visits, but I'm sick all the time. I'm 1/2 of a point from being fired. I tested positive for Covid again today, so there goes my job.

I haven't improved, gotten worse since December. See doctor again soon but don't feel it will ever get better because it affected my entire spine and neck and isn't going away. You treat it on your own. It's hell. I miss how I used to be.

That is what a doctor said to me Why arent you getting better 💁‍♂️After 20 yrs of having ME Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Symptoms are very similar to long term benzo use. Severe pain that seems to move to different areas, brain fog, anxiety, loss of joy, dizziness, insomnia, severe muscle spams.The healing starts with gut and brain healing.

I think you're right..very scary

Thrombosis, heart failure, brain inflammation, nerve damage, blood clots.. These are just a few of the side effects from the covid vaccines...

I've lived this with a virus in 2011. 10 years later I can function at 75%. I have accepted I will never be 100% again and am thankful for where I am now.

Im no doctor however I believe many viruses have long term impacts and many not researched perhaps due to not being so prominently widespread and imperative for study. Mono for example has been studied and the long term effects specifically its relation to developing MS. .

Tell it like it is. It's not brain fog; it's brain damage.

I had a severe case of Covid Jan 4th 2021 which lead double pneumonia. I can’t even count all the health issues because there’s so many . As I thought I was going to get better I got Covid AGAIN in September 2021 with double pneumonia. Never had to be admitted to the hospital. I didn’t leave my house other than work. I can’t remember anything and lose words often not to mention the pain and wondering how I’m going to get out of bed. I broke down to my Dr and said “WE DONT LET ANIMALS SUFFER LIKE THIS, WE PUT THEM DOWN”! I know how sad that sounds but it’s how I feel ! Hopeless is the feeling !

It's true and sad! Currently going through this. Im thankful to be alive but depressed and crying when I'm feeling all these long covid effects. Praying for all going through this!

I have extreme fatigue and body aches …..after getting 2 dose of vaccine 💉❗️❗️❗️…I am not the only one….WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO REPORT VACCINE INJURIES ❓❓❓❓❓

Long hauling since September 2021. It’s horrific. I can say I am improved significantly but every day is a reminder of symptoms circulating pings of headaches mild aches sleepiness mild anxiety. It used to be extreme fatigue myalgia brain zaps chills aches insominia tachycardia high Bp phobia development auditory and lift sensitivity all day every day for a solid 6 months things have wound down a lot over past two months. It is the worst thing I have ever experienced by far. Shattering in every way to the psyche and body. God bless every one afflicted. May he grant you strength to endure until recovery.

I think that people who work in offices etc can at least sit or maybe work from home. But people who work physically...like i have to go back to work next monday, and clean after 3000 people 800 m2 for hours and hours I really dont know how i will manage without taking breaks, and there is this horrible heat now..:(

Its only random until u figure out why.

I want to see the same coverage for injured vaccine recipients! There's no win, we all take this chance one way or the other.

I am 10 months out and now having heart issues and I developed a tremor. Memory is up and down. Some days are better than others, but I try to do one job a day no matter how big or small it is. Today I harvested beans and tomatoes but couldn’t do any more than that. I forced myself to walk my dogs and that was it for the day. I have 5 autoimmune diseases and am really interested to see if this will be one more. Hang in there everyone❤️

DOESN'T BOTHER TO ANSWER THE TITLE'S QUESTION, "WHY ARE THEY STILL SICK?"

Wow I am 21 months post covid and am a long hauler too. It is like a rotation of symptoms that will not go away. Still struggle with lack of smell and taste. Everything takes so long to accomplish. Some days I can barely move and then I am able to be very active with no repercussions. I feel like I am getting better and then its like my body says not any more. The first vaccine shot I felt really good for a few days only, after the second one it was like when I was first sick and was totally unable to do anything, that was early July and I am just getting back to having some good days. The people interviewed sound like me. When I could barely walk some days, I was told I was no longer fit, If that is the case why am I able to walk easily on other days? After pretty much every conceivable test, that come back normal……what is next. I have been unable to work since March 2020. I was very fit at the onset.

I am 5 months post covid and i am still exhausted, my knees still aches, i never been through this before, i hope we all heal from this nightmare,,,

How many of you are still suffering from long covid mental illness ?? It’s been 2.5 years I’m facing this issue nobody is there to help us

Used to walk 5-10km without resting but after getting Covid last January 2021, walking 1 km already gives me shortness of breath and need to rest. 😫
